SPES And PIP Payouts

SPES AND PIP PAYOUTS

Iloilo Provincial Government’s Public Service Employment Office (PESO) conducted a payout for the recipients of the Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) and Provincial Internship Program (PIP) at the Governor’s Boardroom, on July 11, 2024.

On behalf of Governor Arthur Defensor, Jr., Provincial Administrator Raul Banias commended the 27 SPES recipients and encouraged them to finish their college education as it will be their key to overcoming poverty.

Meanwhile, Banias also lauded the 15 PIP recipients for performing well in their respective job assignments.

PESO head Francisco Heler, Jr. said several PIP recipients were absorbed by some Local Government Units (LGUs) either as regular or Job Order employees.

SPES is being implemented with the help of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) where beneficiaries receive PHP 590 per day for 20 working days.

Meanwhile, PIP is a localized Government Internship Program funded by the Iloilo Provincial Government where beneficiaries receive PHP 480 per day for 66 working days.

The beneficiaries, deployed in the different LGUs of the Province of Iloilo, are tasked to implement employment facilitation and protection programs and services and expose them to government programs and projects through the various departments.
